CHAPTER VI
57/77

As you know, revolutions and assassinations in order to obtain control of governments are instituted almost wholly for the purpose of loot and when it is found that these methods will not bring the desired results, they will cease.
The President also feels strongly in regard to foreign financial interests seeking to control those unstable governments through concessions and otherwise.

This, too, he is determined to discourage as far as it is possible to do so.
This was a great opportunity for England and America to get together.

You know how strongly we both feel upon this subject and I do not believe that the President differed greatly from us, but the recent actions of the British Government have produced a decided irritation, which to say the least is unfortunate.
Faithfully yours, E.M.

HOUSE.
145 East 35th Street, New York City.
November 14, 1913.
DEAR PAGE: Things have happened quickly since I last wrote to you.

I went to Washington Monday night as the guest of the Bryans.
